Fr. Gommar DePauw



 Fr. Gommar A. DePauw (October 11, 1918 - May 6, 2005) was a  priest and founder of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement.  More information can be found here.

The following information is part of a Times Article which can be read here.  Both in Europe and the U.S., a few recalcitrant priests and congregations are stubbornly holding on to the Tridentine Latin Mass, which was replaced by a new rite in the wake of Vatican II.  Best known in the U.S. is Father Gommar De Pauw, who draws worshipers from as far as 100 miles away for his Tridentine Masses each Sunday in Westbury, L.I. De Pauw's Masses are also broadcast on 20 radio stations coast-to-coast. 


Fr. Gommar DePauw's excellent audio lecture on "Catholic or Conciliar" (1, 2, & 3) can be heard on Gloria TV.  This lecture continues on through to the history of Vatican II so be sure to hear all
of them.

Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani


During the very first session of the Second Vatican Council, Cardinal Ottaviani, President of the Theological Commission, was challenging the liturgical ‘revolution’ that was being proposed and ran over his allotted time. His microphone was abruptly switched off. To the revolutionaries he was not singing their tune and had to be silenced as quickly as possible. This shameful lack of respect to a venerable and aged cardinal set the scene for the contemptuous way in which the sacred liturgy and the laity of the Catholic Church have been treated for the past forty years. Its liturgy is no longer sacred or liturgical, and the laity and their opinions are of no interest to those driving forward the revolution.  The rest of the story can be found here.

A Short Critical Study of the New Ordo of Mass can be read here.
 
"The Novus Ordo Missae ...represents both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session 22 of the Council of Trent."

Fr. Emil Kapaun

 

 Fr. Emil Kapaun, was an extraordinary American who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and named a "Servant of God" by the Vatican. "Try to escape," the wounded American soldiers warned their chaplain, Fr. Kapaun. However, he refused to leave his comrades and became a POW. His decision marked a turning point in the inspiring life of this young Kansas-born priest.

Fr. Kapaun's faith and courage on the battlefield and in a North Korean prison set an example for hundreds of young American captives. When they were starving, he "stole" food for them. If the men needed encouragement, he defied prison rules and prayed with them. When the communist guards mocked his faith in God, the chaplain publicly defended his beliefs. When Fr. Kapaun became sick, the communists denied him medicine and watched him die in their vermin-infested "hospital." However, they could not extinguish the memories of how he served other prisoners. 

See video's on Fr. Kapaun and a possible miracle which may bring him closer to sainthood.  Check out his biography in the book, A Shepherd In Combat Boots.
